VyHE immense amount of Life Insurance
carried in this country makes it Of National
importance that heads of families should be
able to secure it as cheaply as possible consis-
tent with safety. Especially is this necessary
for the millions of men in moderate circum-
stances, who must earn. their living by hard
knocks and in the face of a competition that is
becoming keener and sharper every day.
If life Insurance is not safe it is not worth
carrying, and if it is too costly, the men who
most need it cannot carry it all. How to make
it both safe and cheap is the problem of the
day, and he who solves it will have done a
great and patriotic service for his fellow men.
The Old Line Companies are certainly safe
when honestly managed, but their rates are
so high, that only the rich can afford to carry
such an amount as would provide for a family,
while the great mass of men, and those, too,
whose families most need protection, are COM
PEELED to 90 without insurance, or seek it in
the assessment companies or secret orders.
The fact that these cheaper institutions are to.
day furnishing more insurance than all the Old
Line companies combined, shows how eager
are the mass Of citizens for insurance that Is
within reach of their means. While these
orders and corporations are furnishing insur,
ance cheap enough, yet, at best, they can only
be looked upon as temporary eXpedlents ana
not altogether satisfactory. But it is plain,
that somewhere between the old line and as
sessment plans there must be a middle ground,
which is not only safe, but just and tar to all
parties.
THE INTER-STATES LIFE ASSOCIA-
TION of Staunton, Va, has sought earnestly
and honestly to find this middle ground. In
this search they have, at large expense, con-
suited and employed the foremost a%ctuaries
and insurance experts in this country, and up
on their recommendation have adopted q line
of rates which is entirely safe. and yet, is in
the reach of every thrifty and industrious man
who desires to protect his family against his
death.
To ascertain this safe rate, they added to the
actual death cost experienced by the old line
companies an ample reserve, and then a rea:
sonable amount for expenses and profits, but
so limited as to compel economical manage
ment. So plain and fair and popular are its
methods that over three millions of business
was done in the first eight months work. It's
rates are fixed, and must be paid, deaths or no
deaths, but are divided into two, four, or six
payments a year, as may best suit the con-
v%enience of the applicant.

FISH CJ1LTURE.

An important point which has frequent
ly come to my notice is that in the artifi-
cial manipulation of fish, the
impression has been gained by many intel
ligent people that young fry can be pro-
duced from the eggs of a fish in which
life had departed. 1t is my opinion, which
is based upon actual experiment, that the
eggs cannot be yitalized after the heart
has ceased to beat. TO test this matter
correctly it is necessary to wait some time,
an hour at least, after the fish has ceased
to exhibit any outward signs of life, as 1
have a%scertained by examining young fry
under the microscope that the blood will
flow and the heart beat for twenty minutes
to a half hour after the fish is, to all out
ward appearances, dead. In order to OBJ
tain the best results from artificial impreg-
nation both parent fish must be alive and
in a healthy Condition and the eggs fully
matured naturally. If the eggs are forced
from the fish brematurely the operation
will result in a failure and the fish thus
operated upon will almost always die.
Another false idea, which isby no means
uncommon, is that fish can live and thrive
without food. This is a mistake fish re-
quire food the same as any other living
creature and in abundance according to
their size. This wrong impression has
been gained through keeping gold fish in
aquariums in which they have been known
to live for months, and in some cases years,
without putting in food; but the means
through which they live is sucking the
greenish matter from the sides of the aqua
rum and stones. This matter contains
microscopic plants and animals, which
sustains them. In cleaning an aquarium
in which gold fish are kept, never wash
the stones, but take them out carefully,
and when ready, replace them without dis
turbing the Shiny substance on them.

AIM.

The men that fail in life, as a rule, fail
not so much because of a lack of any natu-
raj ability as from a lack of any distinct
and steady aim. The brilliant sons OF
genius are very apt to disappoint us.
They are meteors that shine with only mo-
mentary light-sky rockets that startle
and sparkle, and whiz-shooting up with
sudden %splendor, and going out in sudden
gloom. The men that make their mark
the highest, and leave their impress deep
est on the age in which they live, have
commonly been the patient plodders who,
like Gesenius, had no other genius than
a "a genius for work"
Here and there in a community you will
find ayoung person with a definite aim
it may be to secure social recognition, or
political preferment, or to amass a fortune
or to climb the heights of scholarships;
or, best of all, ito glorify God on earth.
and to enjoy him forever in heaven"
But whatever it may be, they are aptto
realize it if they only determinedly adj
here to it.
And you can recognize such people
wherever you find them. There is a look,
a tone, a step, downright moral earnest
character. Nothing gives such dignity
and grace and force to ones whole being
as the pervasive presence of a steadfast
purpose.
It is an infinite pity that so large a pro-
portion of the young people around US
seem to have set before them no purpose
at all. They eat and drink, and sleep and
dress, and live in the immediate enjoy
ments of the present, without any high
and generous thoughts as to what they
shall do and be in the long stretch of life
that presumably lies before them. Now,
a Sabbath-school teacher can do no nobler
work, next to the salvation of the soul OF
his scholar, than to endeavor to awaken
within him some lofty aspirations, and to
induce him to set before him some high
and worthy aim in life.
And let the teacher himself determine
to be a living illustration of the dignity
and value of such definite aim. Such a
teacher will be listened to as IN oracle,
will be copied as a model, and will be
afterward remembered with a reverence
and affection that the rolling years can
never efface. Some of us can speak from
experience; for we have had such teach
ers. They made us first believe in them
and so we came to believe in God and
Christ and heaven. One such teacher,
with an earnest moral purpose beaming
in his eyes and giving thrill to every tone,
is worth all the commentaries that ever
were written ; for by manifestation OF the
truth he commends himselfto every mans
conscience in the sight of God. Oh! for a
higher, steadier aim 1.-The Baptist 1eacher.

COOLEST PLACE IN H WORLD.-Ner-
choiausk is considered to be the coolest
inhabited place in the world, even though
its position, surrounded by high wooded
mountains, would have induced a Nine.
de Bourbolon to have designated it in her
poetic way as the Frozen Ischl of Siberia.
It is a small collection of native huts and
Russian log houses, planted near to, but
not Oh the Yana river. The street-if so
it may be called-extends on either side
of a narrow sheet of water, a kind of creek
formed by the autumn overflow OF the
Yana, and which in winter forms the
frozen promenade or driving place for
sleds. It is a dreary place enough. The
summer lasts only four months, and during
the other eight Of the year it is bitterly
cold, the thermometer sometimes lndl-
eating so degrees, below zero and seldom
going above 50 degrees, until April 80.
Corn will not grow in the desolate region.
Barley and oats have been soWn, but have
always succumbed to the early frosts. Of
vegetables there are only the radish and
the turnip, with perhaps an occasional and
very precarious crop of potatoes. Cab
bages all run to leaf. The ground rarely
thaws, even during the hot season, be-
yond twelve or eighteen inches deep, and
in places most exposed to the sun never
beyond a yard. Most of the dwellings are
Yakut huts, built of fir trees reared against
a SQUARE frame work and covered thickly
with mud to keep out the cold.-NeoU York

A PARALLEL CAsE.--The Supreme
Court of Alabama decided the case of
Heard VS.. Hicks, on February a., 1887,
which was somewhat similar to the Rush
case from E%dgefeld. The wife of defend
ant mortgaged her separate estate to Sc
cure the debt of her husband and he signed
the mortgage with her. In payment of
the debt, husband and wife Joined in Civ
ing a deed of the separate estate to the
creditor. The creditor then sold the land
back to the defendants, made a deed to
them and took q mortgage from them to
secure the purchase money. The Supreme
Court held that the whole transaction was
void. If this is good law in Alabama we
do not see why there should be such an
cutlery in our State.-A6beUM Medium.
